Seaside Ceremonies Celebrant Kristin Cusenbary ~ Wedding Ceremonies Should Be Meaningful. Personal. Fun! Welcome! No request is overlooked! Wedding Ceremonies Should Be Meaningful.
(22)

My name is Celebrant Kristin and I am honored to be a part of your wedding. As your officiant, let's create a ceremony that reflects you as a couple. Your ceremony should be a perfect symbol of your ideas, your future dreams, your inner beliefs, your vows for each other, and your message for your guests. I pride myself on being open minded and flexible to all requests which allows endless possibil

ities to script and perform a unique ceremony that encompasses your marriage. Each ceremony can be tailored to your wishes with the type of ceremony, the length of the script (how long the ceremony takes), the wording type (formal vs. informal), the message or theme (love, adventure, family, etc.), and the order of the processional and recessional. Different types of ceremonies include religious, non-religious, non-denominational, LGBTQIA+ ceremonies, elopements and vow renewals. I allow unlimited communication so that we may work together to perfect your ceremony. In addition, I will coordinate with your other wedding vendors beforehand and am available for rehearsals for you and your wedding party. Although I reside in Ventura County, I am available to perform anywhere in Southern California from San Luis Obispo to San Diego (travel fees may apply). Fun!

Life is unpredictable and this journey has been a wild one. At this point in my life, I'm ready to simplify and unfortunately, this means I'll be stepping away from weddings.

As of today, I will no longer be booking any additional ceremonies for 2023 and will be limiting my bookings for 2024. I'm excited for what comes next for me and am beyond grateful to the couples who entrusted me with their ceremonies. Thank you for the support I've received over the years from family, friends, and vendors. You all mean the world to me.

Cheers to new beginnings!

The truth is that without the ceremony, your "wedding" is just a big ol' party!
The point of a ceremony is to create the foundation of your marriage through commitments. It really comes down to the promises you give to and receive from one another, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that the person standing in front of you will be by your side through it all.
Ceremonies are also part of the celebration. It's important to soak in the good stuff that life brings our way - it's all about taking a moment to share your love with each other and with your loved ones. So let's create a pause in time to take it all in and get excited about the future. Because at the end of the day, your ceremony should be memorable, personal and fun!

Can I Get A Witness?!
Here's a few items you may need to know about your witnesses:
1️⃣ Anyone can sign as a witness and there is no age minimum but the person must understand what they are signing.
2️⃣ You are required to have one witness for a public license but can have up to two. Confidential licenses do not require any witnesses.
3️⃣ There are three parts to the witness signature: Signature, Printed Name & Address
4️⃣ Since this is a legal document, all writing must be clear and concise, meaning you have to be able to read it. That means if they have terrible handwriting or have a hard time writing, you may want to reconsider your choice. Also, no random hearts, stars, tick marks, dots, lines, etc.
5️⃣ All aspects should be written out - meaning no abbreviations! Write out "Santa Barbara" not "SB", or write out "Street", not "St".
6️⃣ All writing must be kept in the boxes given to you - stay in the lines!

Of course, with all witnesses, I explain this all thoroughly to them before handing them the pen but mistakes happen! If anything is flagged as unacceptable, don't worry, you're still married. However, the County Recorder's office will require us to file a duplicate marriage license for an additional fee where it's completely typed out and will delay the recorder process.

Rituals only carry the meanings we give them. Rings are just pieces of jewelry unless we wear them with the intension of carrying our vows. Reading are just words unless they invoke a feeling or thought. And unity ceremonies are just physical items unless they represent the nature of your relationship. Part of the magic of a ceremony is we create meaning behind the seemingly meaningless.

This lasso ceremony was carefully cultivated with these two gentlemen in mind. The tradition was showcased in the marriage G's parents and the color used in the florals represent S's late mother. The blending of two families into one beautiful sight.

The most important thing in life is the connection we make we others. We were not put on this Earth to simply exist. Our purpose is to create a world filled with the most wonderful things and feelings and experiences.

*THIS* is my purpose - to connect with my couples, with their families, with their friends and celebrate their connection through love and joy.

S & A - thank you for allowing me to connect with you, to create a moment all yours to rejoice in your love and your future together.

My Story

Hello there!

My name is Celebrant Kristin Neese and I am thrilled to be a part of your love story by performing your wedding ceremony!

My story begins in 2016, when my mother asked me to preside over her upcoming wedding. I refused at first, but eventually with her persistence, I warmed up to the idea and agreed. I read up on everything I could about officiating; read books and articles, scrolled through blogs and eventually, created a ceremony tailored to them. Their day was beautiful! I felt a sense of calmness and peace as I performed their wedding. In the moments after, their guests greeted me and offered praise of my skill, asking how long I’d been doing this! First timer here! In that moment, I decided I wanted to pursue being an officiant. My natural talent for public speaking mixed with my love for all things romance created this amazing opportunity to be a part of couple’s lives in a very powerful and meaningful way.

As your officiant, I want to create and perform a ceremony that reflects you as a couple. Your ceremony should be a symbol of your love story, your relationship, your lives together, your future dreams, your inner beliefs, your vows for each other, and your message for your guests. I pride myself on being open minded and flexible to all requests which allows endless possibilities to script and perform a unique ceremony that encompasses your marriage. But most importantly, let’s have a bit of fun in the process!
